Just back from the game ,i thought we gave it 110% and with a bit more composure might have won, would coote and percival made a difference ???? Possibly but who knows .....one thing that came from tonight for me was that if sean wane can get england/gb fired up then the ashes and world cup are there for the taking , in 2 years time a pack of thompson, clarke,walmsley, bateman,philbin and smithies has nothing to fear from an aussie six

I didnt want you to win, I had Sydney by 10+, I was gutted when ref gave that penalty end of the game that led to walmsley try.
But

Good effort
Think both teams will consider their performance as no better than maybe 7/10 but performing at those levels Roosters just had that bit of extra class.

Pack stood up well (I'm guessing Roby was either still not 100%, undercooked which would be understandable, or it could be that hes just on the Wane).

Saints give it a good go and fair play to them even with the 3 missing. Roosters will point to being a but rusty and obviously missing a couple of players themselves.

As for the Wane comment, seems like Woolf had then up for it and gave them thebunsteuction to have a Belt at them. That's certainly ly something Wane will want from his players.

Not watching the game but just seen the score so far. This is terrible for the British game. Saints are without a doubt the best team in SL by a long chalk and cant hack it with an NRL team still in pre season training. Unless something is done quickly to raise the standard of the game over here, we are doomed. Our players are just not as good in any department and every season we seem to be slipping further and further behind.


Please explain how we can raise the standard of our game when since the mid nighties when Rugby Union sold it's soul and went professional, we can no longer attract the star players from that code or even sign the best players from Australia at their peak because they if they come here, they will not be considered for International selection.

Our game will never compete with the Australian game now, both on the playing side, especially at International level and more so where finance is concerned unless Sky give our game a contract like they have given to Rugby Union.

The codes have turn full circle and how long will it be before it reverts to being a part time sport again?

We won our 4th World title (a then record) and made the cup final. Nobody talked about our injuries and games when we were missing 6 and 7 players. It's a crisis for every other club, but we should just take it.


ANYWAY..........Have you won back2back titles since 2017?

From what I saw watching in a busy pub, I thought Saints' pack stood up to the Roosters where I doubt other SL sides would have. They had their half-chances to score, but they couldn't take them. I thought a competitive game and a creditable effort.
